SharePoint Designer 2010: You do not have permission to do

Mounika Reddy

Hi,

My account have site collection administration privilages and i'm able to open the site in Sharepoint designer 2010 but when i'm trying to open the list forms (default / custom forms) i am getting the following error

"You do not have permission to do this operation. Ask your website administrator to change your permissions and then try again, or log on with a user account that has this permission. To log on with a different user account, click OK".

How can i resolve this error? I tried different thread from internet and couldnot able to resolve the issue. What could be issue though my account have full control permissions? and I'm Not facing any issue when login with service account

tt might be too late to post this.

Issue got resolved by checking all the option in below path.(in my case only Enable sharepoint designer option is checked)

Site actions--> Site settings-->Under site collection Administration-->SharePoint designer setting-> Check all the options--> click ok.

....../_layouts/SharePointDesignerSettings.aspx

Then opened the list form in sharepoint designer and form opened without any error.

Couple of approaches you may try -
Try uninstalling SharePoint Designer and re-install again with a windows restart. Some registry issues cause this issue at times ( I am assuming you have design rights also, along with Site Collection Administrator rights as you mentioned)

Try opening SPD directly from the list as shown in the image below. If you do not have any issues with permissions, this should open up fine.

Make sure you have Design permission.
Use the out of box Design permission level. The permissions required are:
Browse Directories - Enumerate files and folders in a Web site using SharePoint Designer and Web DAV interfaces.
Use Remote Interfaces - Use SOAP, Web DAV, the Client Object Model or SharePoint Designer interfaces to access the Web site

Try following below steps:

Open the SharePoint designer -> locate and click on Accounts.

Then check which account you have logged in the SharePoint designer. Make sure here you have logged in your account.

let me know if still you face issue
